138l Tank, What Would You Do With It?

[lordotterby]

I have been given a 138L tank by my girlfriends dad, I want to keep a plec, some catfish and maybe some cories. I also want to have some a few rasboras and some tetras.

What would you keep in it?

and do you have any suggestions as to what types of plec and catfish, I can keep in it?

corys and rasboras are favs of mine......be careful of which plec you choose though as some reallye grow!

i also like corys and rasboras, if you were going to get a plec make sure to choose very wisely, i think a bristlenose pleco would be best, also about 6 corys, and a few shoals of tetras, and rasboras would look nice, and maybe a dwarf gourami, or honey gourami

I'll second the bristlenose, lovely fish IMO and quite hardy.

I would not buy a dwarf gourami at the moment, as there are a lot of health problems with this species. I'd rather go for a hardier gourami like the thick-lipped (labiosa) or leave gouramis out altogether.

Corys and tetras/rasboras sound nice.

funny, there are no problems out were i live with dwarf gouramis, i was told that all them are locally bread, so. it might be different in the uk i don't know
